Michael looks over at the clock seeing it hit midnight. For hours they set here watching TV, talking, and then back to watching TV. They shared food. Michael occasionally picking off of Semaj's plate with her Chinese food that she went and got from down the street knowing he couldn't have it, to her making him eat the bowel of fruit that he actually did need. Of course it was like trying to feed a little toddler but she made it work.

"What's number... seven... and five on your bucket list?" Michael asks looking over at Semaj.

Semaj had a bucket list that she had never shared with anyone. Not her best friends in her home state and not even Simone, but she shared it with Michael. In which he memorized each thing she wanted to do. It was only ten things, but he was determiend to knock them all out. Simply because he loved her.

"To visit the National Museum of Natural History and the National Zoological Park of the Smithsonian Institution... and to fly on a coach plane..." She recites "why?" She asks squinting her eyes.

Semaj had never road on a plane. She always wanted to ride one but every chance she got with her parents, she either wasn't able to go, got sick, or like now playing sick. She always wanted to ride coach too. She wanted nothing fancy because she wanted to feel like every one else for a moment. Not all high and uppity, as some people would judge and call her.

"Happy birthday" he says slipping his hand under his pillow and retrieving the birthday card he had hidden under there.

"You mean I've had my present this entire time? It was under your pillow? And you went to the bathroom and everything." She whines taking it out of her hands and quickly opening it.

"Stop ya whinin, you needed to wait anyway," Michael replies shrugging as she pulls the card out of the envelope. The two brochures of each museum she named falls into her lap.

"Ohhh you got me brochures? Thanks?"

Michael chuckles and sighs. "Open the brochures Semaj."

"Okay..." she looks up at him before opening the history brochure first two tickets fall out on her lap and she picks up one her eyes skimming over it before they get wide. "OhmyGod!" She yells staring at them.

It was two coach plane tickets to Washington D.C for Semaj's spring break.

"We're going to Washington D.C.?!" She screams excitedly.

"Shhh! An yeah" Michael replies nodding his head. "Open the other brochure."

Semaj wastes no time and opens the other brochure the tickets too falling on her lap. It was two tickets to get into the national history museum.

"The national zoo is free admission so I ain't needa buy tickets for that one." Michael explains shrugging. "Now you can scratch number seven and five off yo bucket list" he says smiling and Semaj looks up at him not being able to contain her smile.

"I don't care what anyone says, you're amazing."

"I know" Michael replies cockily and Semaj rolls her eyes while moving everything over to the chair next to her and she gets up going over to the bed and kissing Michael on his lips. It was the most passionate and forceful kiss he had ever gotten from her and he was loving every second of it.

"I love you Michael" she says against his lips.

"Damn Semaj why you gotta get all mushy on me?" He asks licking his lips and she shrugs making him sigh. "I love you too."

"I love my gift, thank you, a lot" she finally pulls back and Michael nods his head. "I can't wait to tell every one what we'll be doing on spring break."
